Dedicated to the world of rocks, gems, and fossils for over 30 years, my enthusiasm for these geological wonders continues to deepen with each passing year. At the onset of my journey, I became enamored with the captivating mosaic of ammonites and ammolite. My only aspiration is that others will come to appreciate the true beauty and intricacy of these remarkable treasures, just as I did in the early days of my career

Nature Girl - Lauren Kurmey

Lauren Kurmey has two great gifts. The first is the innate ability to sense the natural beauty in world that surrounds us. The second is to capture that beauty in illustration and share her vision through art. A play of light and color accentuating an emotional spirit within creatures that come alive.

In the small hamlet of Milk River, Alberta there is a sound. From an average looking garage behind an average looking house the ticking of an antique sewing machine can be heard. A cozy little shop with walls lined with wood-handled tools, neatly stacked leather and bottles of stains and oils. In the corner is an old Singer machine at which sits Kathy. Hands moving with the surety that comes with years of practiced craft. She guides the leather with care, running the stitches along the toughened hide to turn this rigid skin into something functional. On the bench behind her the carving tools, stamps and punches await the next step. To add a woman’s touch of art. To bring beuaty to function… -Corry’s Aesthetics

Hi, I'm Rose, but you can call me Rosie! Born and raised in the beautiful landscapes of British Columbia, Canada, I've always had a passion for TV and film, especially older shows and sci-fi gems that spark nostalgia. This love inspired me to create chibi/kawaii-style sticker sheets, capturing the charm of those iconic stories in a fun, collectible way.

As a dedicated Dungeons & Dragons enthusiast, I wanted to bring a cute, feminine flair to my gameplay. Teaming up with my mother, a crochet expert with over 40 years of experience, we launched a handmade lineup of adorable crochet dice bags. Our creations grew to include other playful items like stickers, tote bags, and RPG character binders, all designed to add a touch of whimsy to your gaming adventures. Join us in celebrating creativity, nostalgia, and the joy of tabletop gaming!
